Get Well Soon

Filed under: Anglophilia > Film Flickers

Dame Maggie Smith, Professor McGongall in the Harry Potter films, is fighting a battle with breast cancer, it has been revealed today.

The brave Oscar winner is said to have insisted on going ahead with filming the latest installment of Potter last month, even though she was undergoing radiation therapy at the time.

Our thoughts are with Dame Maggie.

Hoping she is cancer free soon!

… my ass; Miss Jean Brodie to you, Perez. Perez-fans, check out Dame Smith in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie." Stellar performance–and shows you just why most actresses today are WAY overrated! My love and heartfelt wishes go out to you, Dame Smith!

#28 - I loved her in that movie.
She has been fantastic in everything she has done.
When I was reading the last Harry Potter books, I kept seeing her as Professor McGonagall - she is that good she becomes the character and ceased to be Maggie Smith. Love her, love her, love her.

Criss Angel Responds To Recording Of Altercation! Says Producer Provoked Him!

There are two sides to every story! Here's his!

In light of the audio recording released yesterday that featured Criss Angel threatening to knock out one of his producers, the illusionist's attorney, Ken Woloson, has released the following statement:

"Criss Angel was in the process of firing Joe Safuto on Wednesday when Safuto became abusive and Criss asked him to leave. Criss decided to fire Safuto in response to repeated complaints from co-workers and other magicians about Safuto's abusive and violent behavior and general ineptitude. Witnesses have attested that there was no physical contact and that Safuto very clearly was the antagonist. The audio released to the media is a snippet of a much longer conversation. We are exploring legal action against Mr. Safuto, including for his defamatory and illegal conduct."

Ouch! Sounds like he means business!

Give the clip a listen again (above)!

It DOES certainly sound like Angel was provoked! But enough to respond like he does?

What do U think?? Who's really at fault here??
